    and I wake in the night at the least sound
    in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
    I go and lie down where the wood drake
    rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
    I come into the peace of wild things
    who do not tax their lives with forethought
    of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
    And I feel above me the day-blind stars
    waiting with their light. For a time
    I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
    Cheers freckle, it will be a good day out, free from the world's despair

    an aged freckle
    grey of hair
    and stiff of knee
    traverses mr grahams round
    with great difficulty
    her reward
    a certain sighthound
    on bended knee



    don't fancy me chances like but a girl has to dream.....................sigh
    ps excuse my use of the word knee twice...very poor!

    freckle, you have to dream. I saw an interview with the great Seve Ballesteros and he said, 'You have to dream. If you don't you're dead'
